This year for the first time: Smoke sauna! :x For those who don't know what it is or how it differs from a regular one, here's an explanation, subs in English:
Or then again not, depending on how willing people are to pay extra. It takes a full working day for the man to heat it up.

Sorry for the late reply, but if you don't already know it you are one of the best guys in AH. Really looking forward to meeting you again! <S>
I love you too <where's the 'hug' emoticon when I need it?>
There's so many people who have killed me during these years and still I can't see their names in the participants list. What takes? The registration is open (http://www.jotformeu.com/form/50503614633346) and flights are cheap these days.

Join us on March 21st at Noon US Pacific/3pm US EST/9pm Finland
This is an annual event that caps off the Fins raucous gathering in Virrat. These waterlogged, pickled and exhausted friends will be trying desperately to sit up straight and fly this special snapshot created in their honor.
Join us as we present Clouds over Lake Lempäälä
This snapshot event has been created to help our friends celebrate their gathering, and I look forward to flying with them, and bringing in as many players as we can to help shoot them down!
The snapshots are a less rigid version of a Scenario. Leadership for each side is chosen that day, the objectives are simple and they are designed to quickly find a fight. There is typically a second mission, or if people wish to continue, a third.
Let's get as many as we can to give these players a spectacular finish (no pun) to their weekend long party.

For more precise description, that piece of meat on platter is a fillet steak made of original Santa Claus. 100% all natural and organic. With a slight smell of reindeer. :devil :aok

Chili was in the dark sauce spread on the potatoes. And the reindeer was actually pork - "pig on the wing" if you prefer. At least that's what the butcher's shop told me...

Welcome! <S>
ROC, just a little surprise that we thought of preparing for the snapshot. (I couldn't fly the snapshot myself as Sasmox was at my computer)... Thank you for hosting it and cheers!
Thank you and sorry!

I have been busy flying and drinking here with my friends, sorry that I didn't answer promptly. Yes, I was away for over a year, it was quite difficult for me. My wife has a business of her own and her father died, so of course I spent the time with her and our son rather than here. But now I'll be back! :aok
The Spring Meet has been just what I have missed, good guys and plenty of missions.

.... and that my friend is how pigs learned how to fly.
Something wrong with that last photo................ what, did they make you where pants in the lounge? :neener:

Had to read it twice, look at the photo and "listen" to how the sentence sounds before I understood what you meant. Oronyms and homonyms can be funny, but they can cause misunderstandings. Where the werewolves were aware of spectators they started to wear pants with a whir...
Didn't you notice that the no-pants pictures were taken outdoors and the lounge was indoors? Take Tarzan for an example: Indoors he's wearing clothes suitable for Lord Greystoke but out in the wild he only has his loincloth on... Citybois can't understand this. Ask Kev, he seems to know... :banana:
